(Can) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with frothy white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of apricots, dried pineapple, orange peel, toast and fresh floral hops. Malty, hoppy taste with crisp-bread, apricots, herbal hops, dried pineapple, orange peel and a balanced citric/herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Fresh and tasty pilsener with a good hop profile. Nice one.

A fairly bland WCIPA that lacks a little body and is a bit short at the finish. Does have some nice pine needle notes in the mouth and a little pepperiness in the aroma, but that's about it.

Funny little thing. It is by far not a pilsner. It has everything a pilsner lacks. Lovely citric hoppy, mild pine and fruity stuff. Refreshing and session able.
